If you punch down, towards people that are less influential or less capable than you, someone “upward” of you is probably benefitting from the lower people fighting each other instead of themselves.

Imagine being such a dumbass that you’ll both do this and then brag about it on the internet

I have a Ph.D. The stuff people are currently calling “AI” is trash.

I regularly do peer review for manuscripts sent to a scientific journal. The number of them “written” with LLM tools is staggering. It’s really disheartening to read several pages of slop filled with very confident-sounding but astonishingly wrong citations.

But it is pretty satisfying to be able to return a review that basically says “Hey editor, they wrote this with a trash robot. I recommend rejection.”

Nobody actually posted the link to the poll?

Here ya go.
